Resters Choice Ice Pack for Injuries Reusable - (Standard Large: 11x14.5) for Hip, Shoulder, Knee, Back - Hot & Cold Compress for Swelling, Bruises, Surgery - Heat & Cold Therapy

Exactly what I needed. In the evening, my head gets really itchy and hot from meds, and I wanted some thing I could slip into or put on top of a pillow. This was the perfect size, and works beautifully. Rather than putting it in my pillow, I ended up putting it on top of the pillow and just putting a certain towel over it. Once it’s been out of the freezer for a few minutes, you can squish it up And it’s not hard or unyielding. That is, the gel stays somewhat soft and pliable. Love it!

Had surgery and needed to ice my hip periodically throughout the day. These are super nice. The bend perfectly to your body that needs icing.

I have been able to heat and cool these with out a problem... I lay them both flat when I do. but just like all frozen things... be careful molding it or moving etc... because things are fragile when cold. but so far so good.

This is the coldest, most flexible & nicely sized ice pack Ive ever used! Covers a large area & you need to put a towel around it (I use a large dish towel) so it doesnt freeze to you! A great buy!

My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel lays on one of these all the time with a thin towel over it to cool off and keep from panting and overheating. Large enough for her whole body. She sleeps on one every night and sits on one in her stroller. We live in the southern USA and its hot. This is her instant relief. Cooling mats are a joke. Use an ice pack for your long haired doggie. Just keep rotating them out in the freezer.

This is a great piece. Getting two if them is perfect, one being in the freezer as you use the other one. Very versatile can be used in a lot places around the body being in gel form it stays soft can be wrapped around things.

Stay cold longer than others i have

Great for hurting knees

Its not going to do more for pain relief than any other source of cold will (if I need assistance with pain, thats what pain pills of various kinds are for), but sometimes you just need to ice your muscles or tendons down and this works well for that. During spring my achilles tendons were giving me issues, so I threw this thing in the freezer and then after it froze I pulled it out, laid down with a thin sheet over the affected area and laid the ice pack over both of my legs and let the cold do its thing. That helped me with getting my tendon inflammation down so that I could carefully stretch my legs and work them back into no longer having inflamed tendons. Along the way this product did what I needed it to, what it was supposed to, and is a very good ice pack. I wouldnt use it for raw meat at a barbeque for example, but thats what cheap plastic ice packs are for. Wash those in some cleaning product, or rinse them with rubbing alcohol or whatever and theyre back to sanitized. These things are made of durable fabric and have a gel that freezes to a near-solid state, so even while theyre fully frozen they still kind of malleable. If I recall right it also has heating instructions on it, but I havent used it as a heating pad so I cant really say anything other than: I expect it to work for such with a similar level of excellence. Follow the instructions it comes with, and are printed on it, and it will serve you well for its intended uses.

Stays cold for a long time! Easy to move the beads around. Great size for the price.
